Thats a great performance by Siskevicius, but he will still need to gain like 5 minutes on the last stage, which I assum will be a tall task cause not many teams will be putting up the pace to split peloton apart 10 ways. But its encouracing, this race will go down the wire and so will our chase for top 5 goal. That garbage TT stat gopefully will matter a bit less cause theres a bubch of hills on that long ass stage 4

First of all a great read - thanks for that. !
A sour sweet meal for us, as Hassan lost way too much time here, but great to see Rocchetti always aggressive.

Nice win for Aussie Meyer! With his still okay TT stat, I kinda fancy his chances for a big GC result here. Gunman doing okay, Roe unfortunately losing quite some minutes.

It was nice to see the team being aggressive, getting in the break, not waiting for Olman, seeing Hugentobler have a late spurt to get a stage podium.
Hopefully they race the same way on the final stage too. Now I've just got to hope Zoidl has a strong TT to put himself back in contention for a high GC place.
In the mean time Salleh has a chance to try and nab a stage win on the flat stage.
And thank you for a really nice report Marco

Well, we're done here. Zaini top 10 is okay and all that, but he's not going to hold on to that place and Sterobo is way too far behind to do anything. We'll look for some small stage points here and there. |

Solid breakaway performance by Blums, gaining those few extra seconds to propel himself to 9th in youth standings (meaningless, but still nice to see), more surprised by Siskevicius getting himself into sprinting action, says a lot about the field, or maybe he just really wants that Top 5 huh? He better

Solid racing from Gautier so far, though much time will be lost on the TT.

Disappointing stuff from Roe..
Meyer gave it a fight, but I guess it's Craddock's race to lose now. Not sure if Christian can hang on. May depend on how hard the stage is ridden.

Thanks for the report !!
Great day for team ....but so much more to loose 
Don't think Christian can do it on such a hard route, so hopes on Hassen Ben Nasser.
Rocchetti the unknown factor sometimes he ride like a dream and he will most likely try to defend the KoM at all cost.

Yess!! He is back! Mottin struggled the past season but this is his year, what a show he gives, such domination
This has been a roller coaster of emotions as the hilly stage everyone failed, but today everyone was strong, Warbasse and Kireva in 6th and 8th, Cabanas in 18th, I'm shook. Uwi leads the U25 by 2 minutes I'm praying he can keep that.

Marchewka shows promising results in both TT stages. Maybe had I chosen less challenging race, he would've been frontrunner for sure.

Not quite what I had hoped for from Pökälä, but I'm quite content with the GC situation with the biggest hill stage still to come.

Zoidl jumping up to 5th GC is nice to see, it will be hard for him to keep it but a top 10 should be achievable.
